Scott, you utter prat, put your specs on and read who posted that
reply in AngloFrench: me. Am I a Frog? I was, in fact, tweaking
the troll's nose. Intended translation of what I posted [with my
comments]:

It's a funny troll [rhyming gag when in French], I think. So,
"little", I get. But... what's a "geot"? [Play on "Peu-geot"
that the troll seems to love.] (FWIW, Toyotas never rollover;
they always stay on the(ir) wheels.) [Play on French "rouler"
or "roll" -- as in "to drive".]

The troll posted (re the Subject line of "Toyota"): It's shit me
I drive a Peugeot.

Sorry I was too subtle for you. *sheesh*
